I think this is a good idea.  But instead of the two extremes, maybe we
could come up with a "class of service" definition (idea shamelessly stolen
from Nortel).  That way, we could define how long each of the message
parameters can be, i.e. how many MB of messages, how big of greetings, etc.

Yes.  We need that.  And it seems to work on last testing, if we set the
time zone.  I'll have to check it again.

If you have no need for different messages, then change your
extensions.conf, and set them both to go to (uXXXX), instead of one going to
(bXXXX) and the other going to (uXXXX).

Hope this helps,
